What's in a good Painting quote?
A good quote spells out how the job is priced and what's covered — labour, materials, prep and clean-up — so you're comparing like for like. Check what each painter's quote covers before you choose.
Worth knowing: getting two or three quotes is the simplest way to land a fair price — and it costs you nothing.

- 03Room-by-room scope
Walls, ceilings, skirting, doors and windows, all named.
- 04Exclusions
What's not included, like powder-coated windows or plaster repairs.
